I'm assuming it isn't in their production schedule/calendar right now but it can definitely change in the future so that they do a limited production of these maybe like a 1-2 week run, a LR battery in a SR RWD build. I am assuming there are 1000-2000 RWD orders, maybe they can convince 30% to upgrade to AWD but the other 70% is still a lot of cars/potential profit (I am not sure what the profits are for each). Maybe it isn't worth it for Tesla to fufill these orders but if demand slows they will still have a good amount of people who want a RWD car which they can make to potentially make some profit and sell more units.
I remember some people ordered the silver color after it was discontinued and Tesla still made that color for them, what about the mid-range model 3?
Anyways my $2,500 deposit is a lost cause, I probably should have trusted my gut feeling that this would happen and bought Tesla stock and bought a AWD model now and probably already have it.
I feel as though all the reps and all the people stating that the RWD will not be made may be Tesla employees trying to scare and convince people to upgrade to the AWD right now so that they can sell the car.
For me, I will wait because I am assuming that a SR Model Y would be RWD because it may be hard to have a AWD dual motor Model Y at $39-40K..
I'll wait and see when the SR comes out if they make the LR RWD, if not, I will probably buy a Cyber Truck or put the money I saved towards an investment property..
Not going to need the car any time soon especially with the what is going on in the world so I can wait it out..
